Brazilian actor Thiago Lacerda has confirmed his separation from actress Vanessa Lóes after 25 years together. In an interview with the newspaper O Globo, Lacerda described the separation as a recent and delicate process, comparing it to a period of mourning while emphasizing the importance of maintaining respect and friendship for the sake of their family.

The couple, who began dating in 2001 and married in 2007, have three children: Gael, Cora, and Pilar, who are aged 12, 16, and 18. Lacerda noted that while the transition has brought pain, it has also provided “significant life lessons.” He expressed a strong desire for privacy, stating, “My life belongs to me.”

Lacerda is currently returning to television in the Globo soap opera ‘Por Você’, while Lóes has been away from acting since 2017, having previously stepped back from her career to focus on raising their children. Following the announcement, Lóes was seen in Rio de Janeiro.

The separation has been noted in the context of a growing trend in Brazil known as ‘grey divorce,’ which refers to separations occurring after age 50. Data indicates that the percentage of divorces involving women over 50 in Brazil rose from 17.16% in 2013 to 21.54% in 2023, a shift attributed to increased longevity, financial autonomy, and changing life expectations.
